Rolly-Poly Fish Heads Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team LightningBugs: I've decided I'm tired of maintaining this one.

Decon containers are very waterproof - but only if the lid gets put on correctly every time. It's easy to think it is on, when it really isn't completely so. Plus they tend to crack over time.

This cache got its name from the fish heads I found in this area while searching for the perfect hiding spot (and also from a certain Dr. Demento song by Barnes & Barnes). The spot I chose actually had a dead fish right in front of it (don't worry, I moved it with a stick). However, don't let that scare you away! After you find the cache, just turn around and enjoy the relaxing view. You may spot a heron. There is also a boat landing and fishing pier nearby if you are so inclined.

Please hide the cache as well or better than you found it as I suspect there is plenty of muggle activity here (indicated by lots of opportunity to trash out). Container is clipped to a permanent fixture so it (hopefully) won't be lost in the event of high water. Feel free to temporarily unclip it. Terrain rating is due to the steep, rocky area you will need to traverse. This rating may increase if you are searching this cache during the icy months!
